Stephen Ministry

From time to time, we all experience crises and difficulties in life, and we just need someone who will “be there” to listen and care. Stephen Ministers are Christian care-givers who are trained to provide emotional and spiritual care to people who are hurting. If you, or someone you know, is facing a life challenge, such as loss of a loved one, divorce or separation, loneliness or discouragement, chronic or terminal illness, birth, miscarriage, infertility, unemployment, or relocation, we invite you to talk with one of our Stephen Ministers. Stephen Ministry is confidential and involves having a caring, Christian friend who will meet with you to listen, care, pray, support, and encourage you each week, for as long as you need support. To be connected with a Stephen Minister, contact a pastor.
